Halloween is one of the most fun and creative festivals celebrated mostly in the US. It is a perfect celebration time and is completely opposite to winter holidays, new year’s eve and Christmas. Halloween primarily takes place on October 31 every year. Groups of people like to celebrate this holiday in their own way but most of them start gearing up for their Halloween costumes and makeover. Halloween makeup has become the talk of the town because, with every passing year, the trend gets better and bigger. This year, one must try the goth makeup style to look more attractive.

Gothic makeup to set a new trend this Halloween?

Going back to the 1990s, the word ‘goth’ carried negative connotations. Fortunately, over the years, goth makeup got recognized in a true sense and became a trend in no time. The innocent candy collecting of yesteryear has transformed into rough parties and late-night vandalizing, for which people get stuck on deciding what to wear and how to look. This year for Halloween, the goth makeup look is super popular on social media. With smoky black eyes and scary-yet-creative outfits getting widely popular over the internet, the gothic culture is a sure-shot trend to follow in Halloween 2019. Ideally, goth makeup is all about giving oneself a bold look.

How to cover a Gothic makeup look this Halloween

If you are willing to do a goth makeup tutorial all by yourself, here is a guide for you. For a dark goth makeup look, start off by using a neutral brown foundation for your face. Depending on your skin colour, use a lighter tone for this Halloween look. For the bold eye makeup, use your preferred cosmetic brand and blend the black shade conveniently all over your eye. Do not worry if you are not a pro at applying makeup. The surprising part of this look is that you can apply it in a messy manner too. In fact, the messiness enhances the look all the more. Beautify your face using shimmery makeup hues, and a pair of contact lenses. A coloured pair of hair extension can totally compliment your look.
